newbie - asp.net

[Mark Oliver]

Hi,

Do i have to install IIS to develop (but not host) an asp.net application?
i don't want to install IIS because of the security problems it causes, and
so far i haven't been able to install IIS because it asks for infocomm.dll
from XP service pack 1 - and the only place i have seen infocomm.dll is at
KB q192296 from 1998.


Thanks,
Mark

There was no way for you to know it, but this is a classic asp newsgroup.
While you may be lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can
answer your question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your
question to a group where those dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

You only need to install IIS if you want to test your applications. .Net
applications can be written with Notepad. IIRC, Web Matrix comes with a
small web server for testing your applications, but I'm not sure. Google it
and see for sure.

Yep - Web Matrix DOES come with its own integral testing server. The whole
thing can be found at www.asp.net.

VS7 with IIS or with Web Matrix!
